Marathon Day 52, Friday 6th May - NI, Armagh

Up at the crack of dawn and re-visited laundry & ironing duties - good to have that out of the way.

Ellie on Radio Humberside this morning promoting Shivna Irish Dancers and know that she will try hard to persuade Lara King to  attend at York on 20th May - we'll just have to wait.

The garden and grounds at home are showing signs of neglect - there's only so much that can be done in the time available so Ellie and I, aided by our good friends Jeannie & Mel (Rosie & Jim) set to and attacked the weeds in the drive, the vegetable beds and started things off in the green house.  A very tiring day but very rewarding!!  Thank you so much to our good friends.

News from Andy in the morning was not good - severe back pain had kept him awake most of the night and he had an appointment  with a chiropractor at 9.45hrs - not good.
Sophie later reported that he was much better after the treatment, still sore but much relief from the pain.  This meant a delayed start, of course, but in any event Andy subsequently advised that he completed his run in 6hrs 38mins. Well Done Mate!

The day ended with the first BBQ of the year (for me), with chimniere lit, good friends, good food & not least of all, good wine! lol.

Somebody ate all the pudding! . . . . . . . 

. . . . . . and a very tired Benji ready for bed!

What a lovely day . . . . .
